Gamma MCP Server

by aykansal

Gamma FastMCP Server

This is a Python FastAPI + FastMCP server that wraps the Gamma APIs and exposes an MCP HTTP endpoint that MCP Clients can connect to.

What this server provides

  • MCP tools:

    • generate_presentation

    • create_from_template

    • get_generation_status

    • list_themes

    • list_folders

  • Health endpoint: /health

  • MCP transport: streamable-http (default)

  • No OAuth flow required for MCP Client (server uses GAMMA_API_KEY from env)

  • Tool definitions live in lib/tool.py and are registered from main.py

It uses Gamma's current flows:

  1. POST /v1.0/generations to create a generation job

  2. POST /v1.0/generations/from-template for template-based creation

  3. Poll GET /v1.0/generations/{generationId} until status is completed

  4. Use GET /v1.0/themes and GET /v1.0/folders with pagination when needed

Reference: Gamma Generate API parameters explained

1) Setup (uv)

From gamma-mcp/:

uv sync

Create .env from .env.example and set your key:

GAMMA_API_KEY=sk-gamma-...
PORT=8000
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http

2) Run server

uv run python main.py

Server will start on:

  • http://localhost:8000/mcp (MCP endpoint for MCP Client)

  • http://localhost:8000/health (health check)

3) Add in MCP Client connector UI

In MCP Client Add Connector -> Add MCP Server:

  • Name: Gamma MCP

  • URL: http://localhost:8000/mcp

  • Transport: http
